Among his many accomplishments, Sinatra earned a total of 21 Grammys, three Oscars and two Golden Globes, frequently earning him the title of one of the greatest entertainers of all time. And yet the leader of the Rat Pack was not just one of the most renowned singers of his generation, he was, and remains a true icon of elegance and style.

Raymond Weil joins the Sinatra family to commemorate the hundred year anniversary of the birth of Frank Sinatra. As part of the “Sinatra 100” centennial celebration, the brand has introduced a special limited edition timepiece reinterpreted from its classic maestro collection.

“It is a great honor to have partnered with the Frank Sinatra Enterprises to create a design that celebrates this special occasion. Frank Sinatra was a charismatic character who left an indelible mark in the hearts and minds of many generations; he embodied an era, a style, and a tradition and was above all a passionate man of extraordinary talent. As a music-loving family company, it is perfectly fitting that we pay tribute to this undisputed maestro of music with a limited edition piece in our maestro collection,” says Elie Bernheim, CEO, Raymond Weil.

“Frank Sinatra understood the vital importance of time and when preparing his music he employed what he had named ‘the heartbeat tempo.’ For that reason, he insisted that his wrist fake watches for sale would have the utmost mechanical integrity and construction to guarantee many years of faithful and accurate service,” says Frank Sinatra, Junior. “Master of horology, Raymond Weil has steadfastly maintained this degree of excellence and in the centennial celebration of the birth of Frank Sinatra, I am proud to see my father’s name associated with this magnificent timepiece.”

The timepiece features a mechanical movement with automatic winding housed in a 39.5 mm stainless steel case. Reminiscent of the famed “Ol’ Blue Eyes,” the hands, index markers, and contour of the date window are a bright blue hue, against the backdrop of a silver dial. A transparent caseback boasts a special Sinatra Centennial insignia, while the twelve marker, highlighted as the only Roman numeral, signifies Sinatra’s December 12th birthday. Also in reference to his birthday, only 1,212 pieces of the maestro Frank Sinatra Limited Edition watch will be available, starting June 2015.

— This is not a piece of jewelry.

This is not a piece of jewelry… it’s a watch ! Or perhaps the other way round. In a remarkable display of jewelry-making virtuosity, Graff revisits the concept of the secret watch with this precious hybrid and multifaceted object. This jewelry watch can be transformed at will and worn in three ways : as a single piece or, thanks to the system enabling the wearer to detach certain elements, as lighter brooches. Hidden at the heart of a pendant composed of sapphire beads, a full-set diamond dial suspends time from a dainty platinum chain. This delightfully flowing and perpetually mobile secret watch studs time with more than 330 carats of sapphires and around 40 carats of diamonds magnificently set according to a daring design. All the more reason to believe that this one-of-a-kind creation is not a piece of jewelry nor indeed a watch, but a sheer masterpiece of refinement.

— Girard Perregaux has enhanced its Tourbillon with Gold Bridge to enchant lovers of beautiful watchmaking.

Combining watchmaking with jewellery, the Cat’s Eye Tourbillon with Gold Bridge featurs feminine curves sparkling with 308 diamonds, from the bezel to the lugs and, in an ultimate touch of refinement, on the crown. Its distinctive oval case in white gold frames a dial decorated with floral motif engraved in relief on the mother-of-pearl. Gently rounded leaf-shaped hands turn under a sapphire crystal signed with a delicate transfer of the GP logo.

At 6 o’clock, the Girard-Perregaux Tourbillon reigns under a Gold Bridge delicately carved with a floral motif that echoes the dial. It precisely regulates the running of the manually wound calibre GP09700-0012, and its 174 parts decorated, adjusted and assembled by hand.

The Cat’s Eye Tourbillon with Gold Bridge is available on a deep black or red alligator strap with a gold folding buckle set with diamonds.

The vintage watch market is booming, and not just at its extreme, where timepieces change hands for hundreds of thousands (and in the most extreme cases tens of millions) of Swiss francs. But which are the most collectible brands and how do the statistics differ by country? Digital Luxury Group, which analyses Internet search activity and, as part of its research, publishes an annual WorldWatchReport based on its findings, shares its insights in this largely unexplored field with WorldTempus in this interview with Inès Lazaro, Product & Marketing Manager at DLG Intelligence.

WorldTempus: What used to be the “second hand” watch market has now turned into the booming ”vintage watch” market. Do you see a noticeable difference between these two terms as far as Internet searches are concerned?

Inès Lazaro: On average, “vintage” is searched 30 times more than “second hand” in the top ten countries searching for vintage/second hand Swiss Fake watches UK. We can see that around 95% of searches are related to vintage Swiss Rolex replica watches against 5% for second hand.

How do you account for different terminology in the different languages of the countries for which you conduct your research?

We collect volumes of keywords in English and the local language of each of the 20 markets we track worldwide. In Switzerland, for example, we track data in English, French, German and Italian. In the US, UK and India, we only track data in English. These keywords have been created using suggestions from different sources in order to have a comprehensive list of keywords for each market. These lists are then filtered for noise and are used to collect search volumes.

What differentiates your services from, say, Google’s keyword tool?

Our DemandTracker technology covers many different keywords associated with each intention. It also includes translations in various languages. Therefore, the scope is much larger than the keywords you can enter on Google’s keyword tool. For instance, in our tool the amount of searches for vintage Rolex includes over 900 keywords for Rolex in 20 countries.

What are the top 10 markets for vintage watches according to your research?

Our latest figures are for the second quarter of 2014 and show the comparison with the second quarter of 2013.

What are the most sought-after brands across the top 10 countries in your research? Are there any major differences?

Vintage Rolex watches are the most sought after. They are the number one searched brand in eight of the ten top ten countries. However, French and Japanese consumers have a higher interest in vintage replica watches.

The top three for each market are:

1. US: Rolex, TAG Heuer, Cartier

2. UK: Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer

3. Italy: Rolex, TAG Heuer, Omega

4. Japan: Omega, Rolex, Panerai

5. France: Omega, Rolex, Breitling

6. Germany: Rolex, Omega, Breitling

7. Thailand: Rolex, Patek Philippe, Omega

8. Singapore: Rolex, Omega, Replica TAG Heuer

9. India: Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe replica watches

10. Spain: Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer Swiss replica watches

Do you collect data about watch collectors and collecting? If so, how does this compare with the general vintage watch market situation?

Vintage watches are considered more of a medium to long-term investment. Collectors, on the other hand, are seeking Rolex replica watches that have a heritage or history. There is also a “revival movement” within the watch community with some brands releasing new models inspired by some of their most iconic watches from the past. Brands like Patek Philippe and Rolex are seen to be good investments because of their increase in value over time.

Given the increasing interest for watch auctions, have you considered tracking searches in this field?

Auctions are an important keyword to track especially concerning Haute Horlogerie. Brands are using auctions in order to think about their brand. Yes we are considering analysing auction related searches and we have the ability to do so. We may do this from January 2015. We are still trying to find how relevant these searches are for the reality of business. However, we can analyse the impact of auctions on searches for the brand.

How easy is it for you to add new parameters for analysis in general? What does this involve and how long would it take to set up?

It’s fairly easy. Setting up a new segment involves a number of steps. Firstly, we define the scope of our research by selecting the brands, markets, languages, segments, categories and destinations, for example. Then we will begin the research by collecting brand-related phrases, removing keywords and harmonising the data. This data will then be collected monthly and interpreted by mapping keywords with user intentions. The next step involves the extraction and analysis of the data; the metrics will be defined and data visualised. The final step is giving insights by identifying trends, challenges and opportunities. Given our expertise in this field we are able to build new segments in about 1 month.

— Here are two new models of this jewelry replica watches for sale where, for the first time in Rolex replica watchmaking, diamonds and fine pearls have been embroidered.

The jewelry Swiss replica watches collection Mademoisele Privé – two words found on Gabrielle Chanel’s design-studio door, at rue Cambon in Paris – is a showcase for the symbols Coco Chanel dearly cherished and the element she loved to have around her.

Originally associated with masculine dress – 19th-century dandies wore camellias in their buttonholes – Coco Chanel laid claim to camellias for her feminine wardrobe. Today, produced in a wide range of materials and forms the camellia is one of Chanel’s key symbols, which never ceases re-interpreting it through its watchmaking and fine jewellery collections.

Mademoiselle Privé Watch with Embroidered Camellia

For almost a century, the House of Lesage has been embroidering elaborate designs for all the top names in haute couture and fashion, and continues perpetuating its exceptional know-how. For the very first time in watchmaking, diamonds and fine pearls have been embroidered.

The tour de force is found in how the thickness of the embroidery fits into the extremely thin 18K yellow gold watchcase and how the hands – also in gold – turn just above the raised seed-stitch. Each camellia is produced by hand and needle and so each dial is a unique piece.

The fake watches for sale houses a high-precision quartz movement displaying the hours and minutes and is worn on a black satin bracelet whose 18K yellow gold ardillon buckle is set with 80 brilliant-cut diamonds.
